GoodQuestion

[Aaron Siri @AaronSiriSG]

Pfizer board member, @ScottGottliebMD, you look foolish attacking @RobertKennedyJr on CNBC (links to clips below) because it’s clear you lack basic knowledge regarding vaccines. For example:

--Your claim that in “early 2000s … FDA reformulate[d] the existing MMR vaccine to take some of the preservatives out,” is false. Never happened. You are likely thinking about the removal of thimerosal in the early 2000s from various vaccines but as even CDC explains, “Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines do not and never did contain thimerosal.” https://t.co/iTY7OH4hqW

--Your claim that a child “can’t get vaccinated [for MMR] until age 2” is simply false. MMR is routinely given at one year of age and sometimes even earlier. https://t.co/MW3i33Djbo

--Your claims regarding pertussis vaccines nonsensically ignore the fact that these products do not prevent transmission of the pertussis bacteria – they only provide, at best, personal protection. As a recent consensus paper of industry pertussis vaccine “experts” explained, “aPVs [pertussis vaccine] … cannot avoid infection and transmission. … aPV pertussis vaccines do not prevent colonization. Consequently, they do not reduce the circulation of B. pertussis and do not exert any herd immunity effect.” https://t.co/nlLg6dqvaJ

--Your claims regarding polio nonsensically ignore the fact that the last wild case of polio in the U.S. was in 1979 and that the only polio vaccine used in the U.S. for the last 24 years only provides, at best, personal protection and does not prevent transmission of the polio virus. As CDC explains: “IPV [inactivated polio vaccine] … does not stop transmission of the virus.” https://t.co/PmgbMEUZnn

--You claimed that “we [Pfizer] don’t make the pediatric vaccines, Pfizer is not in that market” to deflect the claim that, as a board member of Pfizer, you have a serious conflict of interest in attacking RFK Jr. regarding pediatric vaccines. But, as you no doubt know, Pfizer does sell pediatric vaccines, including the Prevnar vaccine given to babies at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age, which was one of Pfizer’s top three selling products in 2023. https://t.co/55luhUOK3O claim is either a lie or reveals deep ignorance.

--Your claim regarding measles mortality is based on dubious and unreliable data and ignores the facts that (1) approximately 400 people total died annually in the U.S. in the years before the first measles vaccine in 1963 (amounting to around 1 death for every 500,000 Americans), and (2) mortality from measles declined by over 98% from 1900 to 1960 before the vaccine and was continuing to decline. https://t.co/vNmbpUfigF. In any event, you dutifully ignore the fact that RFK Jr. has made clear he has no intention of taking away vaccines from anyone who wants them.

--You claim RFK Jr. will cost lives, but I would argue that ignorance regarding vaccine products does and has cost lives. I welcome a public debate in which we can discuss the number of lives ignorance about vaccines has cost versus your speculations about those RFK Jr. will supposedly cause (a man who has actually devoted his life to saving the lives of children).

Your knowledge regarding these products is only matched by your track record as a public “health” official. The plummeting decline in childhood health from the early 1980s (from less than 13% with chronic disease to now well over 50%) continued unabated while you were FDA commissioner. Respectfully, you lack authority or a track record, let alone basic knowledge, to speak on the subjects you address in this interview (let alone to discuss this topic with Senators to dissuade them from confirming RFK Jr.)

If you were being honest, you would reveal that your real concern, as a board member of Pfizer, is that Pfizer's golden gooses – Covid-19 vaccines, Prevnar vaccines, RSV vaccines, etc. – will have to face the reality of the devastating harms they have caused to families across America. Your interview stinks of self-interest. The time for selling out America's children so pharma and its leaders, like you, can line their pockets has come to an end.

The above responds to a recent CNBC segment on which you recently appeared and which you tweeted out in two parts:

Hey @VanityFair, you know when your veterinary experts call a goat a dog, and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, that you’ve joined the ranks of supermarket tabloids. Keep telling America that up is down if you want. I’ll keep talking about the fact that working families can’t afford houses or groceries because our last two presidents went on a $14 trillion debt joyride, paid for by hard-working Americans.

The DNC media’s garbage pail journalism may distract us from President Biden’s cognitive deficits but it does little to elevate the national debate or reduce the price of groceries.

If Elon Musk starts his own UNWOKE search engine, would you use it over Google?

[Jay Bhattacharya @DrJBhattacharya]

Just wondering. Did the fact checkers ever correct Tony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, or Rachel Maddow for saying that the covid vax prevents you from getting and spreading covid? If not, why not? It was one of the biggest lies of the covid era.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

The legacy media is in shambles because we’ve caught onto their lies and propaganda. Tucker Carlson has every right to interview Putin.

We need more transparency instead of less. It used to be understood journalists would interview world leaders, even those with whom we were at war.

In January 2017, just as he was leaving the white house, President Obama lifted the pause on gain of function research.

This single action may end up being the most important historical legacy of the Obama presidency.

Context, 1983 v. 2024:

In 1983, CDC's vaccine schedule had 3 routine vaccines -- DTP, MMR and OPV.

In 1986, due to company crushing liability from injury claims from these products, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act giving pharma companies financial immunity for harms caused by those 3 vaccines and future vaccines.

Now, the CDC has 17 routine vaccines for children (90 doses), 4 during pregnancy (4 doses), and 4 during adulthood (130 doses). Almost all effectively liability free. No other product -- not planes, cars, chain saws, etc. -- enjoys this level of immunity. Even gun companies can be sued for design defects claims -- but not pharma for vaccines given to babies.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

There is not a single doctor in the world that can tell you that vaccines do not cause cancer. On every single FDA insert for every vaccine, there is a disclaimer of sorts which states that the vaccine has not been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic effect.

They have the means to test them, they simply don’t.

An explosion of childhood cancers (particularly leukemia) coincides with the explosion of vaccines after manufacturers were removed from liability.

No person will ever change my mind that Big Pharma knows that among other things, vaccines can cause childhood cancers. It is a huge reason why I refused to vaccinate any of my children.

JUST IN: California man, Vince Ricci, who defended his family from two robbers at his home has been stripped of his concealed carry permit

Absolute insanity.

On Nov 4 when Ricci was returning from the gym, two armed men rushed him as he was entering his home.

Ricci jumped into action and pulled out a handgun and chased the robbers off his property.

Ricci had a concealed carry permit which saved his home from being robbed and potentially the lives of his family.

Unfortunately, the sheriff's department in Los Angeles has stripped the permit away because Ricci's "yelled" at the LAPD when they came to investigate.

Ricci is convinced that the decision to take his permit away was because he used the gun to protect his family.

The sheriff's department is refusing to release anymore information.

Looks like he hurt LAPD's feelings. Unreal.

No more mask mandates for school kids or airline passengers. This week I’ll force a vote on my legislation to ban federal mask mandates.

The DNC tried to discredit Robert F. Kennedy, Jr last week with deceptive out-of-context quotes and ad hominem attacks. They then censored his ability to respond in the hearing while the cameras were rolling.

Here are the receipts, cited and sourced, to correct the record:

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection.  But not me.

Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days.  After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request.  Secretary Mayorkas: "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time."
 Our campaign's request included a 67-page report from the world's leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.
